By now all the big players are suing each other for utterly meaningless patents, and yet there's not a single fucking toolbag in government that goes "You know, maybe we should just abolish software patents and method patents?"

So this insane circus will continue for quite awhile, and the only ones getting better off are the fucking lawyers.

Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc... don't want it to go away. Sure they use it to launch costly lawyer wars against each other, but more importantly for them they can crush potential competition.
